Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is with a new game every day and that's the way baseball is.

A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us.

Life is one grand sweet song so start the music.

To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

We got a little waylaid along the way. The whole problem started about 10 years ago with management and legal battles then still trying to make albums while I was doing all of that.

When I started law school I was shocked to learn that our legal system traditionally had the man as the head and master of the family. As late as the '70s and '80s when we were fighting for the Equal Rights Amendment states like Louisiana still had a head and master law.

I like to start out each day from the beginning. I'm always learning things.

I didn't miss training because it had become so painful for me. I filled the void pretty quickly as I went straight into coaching and it was great I had to start learning all over again and then when I went into TV I knew nothing about it so I had to start from the very beginning.

Everything starts and ends with the song and working with writers and really learning their process and craft was an invaluable experience.

When I have the time at home I'll practice three or four hours a day. I have to. And I'm a late starter I started at age 17 and at age 51 I'm still learning.

I think kids slowly begin to realize that what they're learning relates to other things they know. Then learning starts to get more and more exciting.

I got started when I was 3 years old because my father was a music teacher and my lessons were free. Instead of learning to walk you learn to play the piano.

You're always learning on different avenues and this is an opportunity for me to start on a fresh plate and start learning some other things that can really help me that I need and I want to progress forward.

Well I think that part of being young is not exactly knowing why you do some of the things that you do. And it's by exploring your life or experimenting or making mistakes and learning from them hopefully that you start to forge an identity.

It's interesting when you've been a partner with someone for so long. So now to sing solo and starting all over again I am learning that I am more bodacious than I thought. I don't know where it's coming from but I am glad.

Particularly for English people Shakespeare is always at the forefront of both drama and the English language. He's always been there. I can't remember starting school and not learning about him.

I always loved the idea of learning martial arts but it wasn't until I was in my 20s that I really started doing it and taking up karate.

I make personal appearances around the country. I'm starting a book tour now and I may be coming to Toronto with the Learning Annex which I'm doing all through the United States so that may come up just before Christmas.

I had been here five years already training very hard learning about the systems the shuttle the station systems. But everything really became real when I started to work with them.

I didn't have a regular school experience and wanted a more abstract way of learning. I started exploring in lots of different creative ways. It gave me the opportunity to travel and play music so it was good for me.

When I started learning the cello I fell in love with the instrument because it seemed like a voice - my voice.

I grew up listening to Jay-Z and I think the first time I really became obsessed with learning and thinking about lyrics was when I started listening to rap I was 11 12 and started becoming aware of music beyond the familiar.

I opened my own restaurant when I was 17. I went broke then traveled around the country learning about different kinds of foods had three other restaurants that went broke. It didn't all start just a few years ago!

I started playing ukulele first for 2 years from age 9 to 11 and got my first guitar and got inspired by blues I heard on the radio that turned me on and I started learning myself.
